Products Application
ASTM A423 Grade 1 Corten steel pipes and tubes are widely used in high-temperature, high-pressure, and outdoor environments due to their exceptional weathering resistance, high strength, and low maintenance requirements. Typical applications include:
Air Preheater Units
Designed for high-temperature flue gas up to 200°C.
Pipe dimensions commonly used: OD 50–400 mm, wall thickness 3–12 mm.
Corrosion rate in atmospheric conditions: 0.03–0.05 mm/year.
Steam Generating Boilers
Suitable for pressures up to 1.6 MPa and temperatures up to 250°C.
Tubes often used: seamless or welded, lengths up to 12 m, with yield strength ~355 MPa.
Power Generation and Fossil Fuel Plants
Used in economizers, heat exchangers, and flue gas ducts.
Able to withstand acidic flue gas condensation and SO₂-containing environments.
Reduces maintenance frequency by 40–50% compared with standard carbon steel.
Water Supply Systems & Waste Heat Plants
Excellent durability for outdoor piping and wastewater transport.
Operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 100°C.
Cogeneration Facilities & Electric Power Plants
Pipes are used for steam distribution, condensate return, and process fluid transport.
Typical tensile strength: 470–630 MPa, elongation ≥ 20%, ensuring safety under cyclic loading.
